Arrow advice for Black Hunter Takedown Recurve

Hi everyone!

I've been dabbling in some archery for the past month or so and I am really enjoying it! The club I go to focuses mostly on compounds for beginners, which is fine, but I have a bit of a soft spot for recurves and the more traditional side of archery. For this reason, and for financial ones, I've decided my first personal bow will most probably be a recurve, a Black Hunter Takedown (given the overall very positive experiences most people have with it and its price). I will keep shooting a bit with the compound as well and I know that as a beginner, the most important thing is to learn proper form.

For those who don't know anything about the Black Hunter, the main specs for the one I might buy are:

- 60" height / 30 lbs@28" / Max. draw length 31" / Bamboo core / Laminated wood and fibre glass limbs. (My own max. draw length is about 26.5", I'm a woman, about 5'6", or 170cm).

My question to anyone who knows of this bow and especially to those of you who shoot one yourself: what arrows do you normally use with it / would you recommend?

I've spoken to one guy who knows quite a bit about recurves and he recommended carbon arrows with 800 spine and about 100gr tips. The most popular (and most reasonably priced?) carbon arrows I've seen so far are:

- Skylon Archery "Frontier", 33" in length;

- Bearpaw "Pentathlon Bandit", up to 32.5" in length.

Open to suggestions / corrections / anything - just bear in mind I'm a noob, so please don't be too harsh if I've said anything stupid! It's all still very confusing and too many numbers to make sense of. If you need any other info, please let me know.

Thank you for reading and Happy New Year!

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

So my budget has increased and i decided i'm going for a top-level sight for the target style recurve i'm building. It seems that Shibuya and Axcel are the top end, so for anyone who has experience with either one of them, or preferably both, could you tell me the differences, pros and cons, and which one is the best value? i'm planning on buying the most expensive, so the Axcel Achieve XP - Recurve or the Shibuya Ultima RC PRO Carbon Sight . If there's any other top end sights you think are better, let me know. I want this to be the first and last sight that i ever buy, and price doesn't really matter. Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...

Is there any reason mediterranean and slavic draw shoot from opposite sides of the bow

When the release imparts the same twist on the string? It was my understanding that mediterranean draw has the arrow on the side opposite of the bow of the draw hand because of the twist imparted on the string affecting the arrow on release but that should mean that slavic draw would suffer from that problem. Am I missing something with this? Shouldn't that mean you could use a mediterranean draw on the same side of the bow as the draw hand and not have issues?

Are my new arrows overspined?

Are 400 spine, 27" arrows overspined for 30 pound draw weight? The guy just picked the arrows, cut them and gave them to me. my old arrows were 500 spine, 32" so when I said that they looked overspined, he just shrugged and said "the chart says they're ok". Can anyone confirm my doubts? submitted by /u/Astaziel [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3pmjVLf via
